Answer:
2839.4 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Altitude = 1200 m
Using trigonometry :
The distance from point P to the airplane :
Using trigonometric relation :
Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus
Sin θ = altitude / x
Sin θ = 1200 m / x
Sin 25 = 1200 / x
0.4226182 = 1200 / x
x = 1200 / 0.4226182
x = 2839.4423
Distance from P to airplane = 2839.4 meters
Answer:
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 5y = 8
Let x=-14
-2(-14) +5y = 8
28 +5y = 8
Subtract 28 from each side
28-28 +5y = 8-28
5y = -20
Divide by 5
5y/5 = -20/5
y = -4
The answer to this rests on knowing that there are four properties of multiplication (which your teacher will likely expect you to know...):
These are:
1. commutative
2. associative
3. multiplicative identity
4. distributive
I won't define each of these -- they should be in your notes or textbook. Look them up.
In this case, we are multiplying three terms together -- on the left hand side the parentheses mean to multiply a and b first, then multiply that by 3. On the right hand side, we multiply b times 3 first, and then multiply the product by a.
This would be an example of the associative property of multiplication: when three or more factors are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of how the factors are grouped.
Hope this helps!
Good luck
